My short term goal is to find one nice frame house (low cost) to live in that I can remodel the kitchen, basement and attic and add one or two bathrooms that has at least there bed room, then refinance, then later add an addition to with a composite deck.  

I have an APOD statement, please let me know if you would like to see it and I can e-mail it to you.Asking Price: $325,000Address:2085 E Chesapeake Beach RoadOwings, MD 20736Year Built: 19653-Units: Each unit is 3 bedrooms/ 1 bathroom, with roughly 1,000 square feet each.

The bathroom is horrible.

Thought someone might be interested in these deep discount deals.http://www.homedepot.com/SpecialBuy/SpecialBuyOfTheDay?

We refinished the existing hardwood, updated the kitchen and bathrooms, set new tile and backsplash, and added a utility room.

You can also use the second mortgages as down payments on other deals or sell them at a discount for cash.

. $3500 is a new bathroom if your paying in cash.

I envy your background in kitchen and bathroom design and am sure it will be of enormous value in your ventures.

I had a leak in my bathroom, and didn't notice for quite a while because the water went UNDER the vinyl and wasn't noticeable for a period of time.

Things are discounted for a reason, houses included, and every once in a while the discount is because someone didn't know they had an original copy of the Constitution hidden behind a $2 3-D Poster.
